The Southern Star took shape from the shared vision of Rick and Nancy Adams for
a restaurant coupling tasteful, fresh-daily dishes with an emphasis on southern
cuisine and welcoming hospitality to match. After nearly four years of success in
small-town southern Georgia, the Adamses set their sites on mid-sized southern cities
and in October of 2000, they sank the Star's roots into Chattanooga's rapidly
revitalizing Southside.

Rick and Nancy's goal remains unchanged: Great food and service in a fun atmosphere.
Just as when they turned on the first burner more than a decade ago, every sauce,
soup, dressing, and side is made fresh daily in the Southern Star's kitchen using
only the best quality ingredients.
